In Romeo and Juliet the play constantly reminds us of how if they had more time things would have worked out. For example when Juliet agrees to marry Paris for Friar Lawrence's plan Lord Capulet moves the wedding from Thursday to the next day (Wednesday).
(act 4, scene 2, Line 39)
"Lord Capulet: send for the count . Go tell him about this. Ill make this wedding happen tomorrow morning .

In Pyramus and Thisbe,
Thisbe is in the eye of a lioness in which she must run into the woods. Only when Pyramus sees a lioness runs and a blooded filled cloak.

"That is what Pyramus saw when he appeared a few minutes later. Before him lay the bloodstained shreds of the cloak and clear in the dust were the tracks of the lioness."

In Pyramus & Thisbe, they lived in "houses so close together" that only a single wall separated them.

This similar symbolism is shown in Romeo & Juliet. "Two, households both alike in dignity" (The Prologue, Line 1).

While the houses in Romeo & Juliet only mean their name, it is the same concept that merely a wall or a name separates them.

Romeo and Juliet both died in a tomb, just like Pyramus and Thisbe. In paragraph four of Pyramus and Thisbe, the narrater states, "They agreed to meet at a well-known place, the Tomb of Ninus..." and in Romeo and Juliet, Act 4, Scene 3, Juliet thinks, "What if, when I am put in the tomb, I wake up before Romeo comes to save me?" In both scenes, it explains how the female protagonists will go inside a tomb to meet their lover. In the end, they both seem like their dead and the male antagonist will kill themselves.

In Romeo and Juliet, they kill themselves because of their forbidden love. "A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life." (The Prologue, Line 5).

This is similar to the part in Pyramus & Thebes, where it states, "The death of two young lovers"

This shows that the events will lead up to them both dying in the end.

In the play Romeo and Juliet "stars" are commonly brought up,  In act 5, scene 1, line 25 Romeo states "I defy you, stars!"

In Pyramus & Thisbe stars are brought up when they say "Every morning when the dawn had put out the stars, and the sun's ray had dried the hoarfrost on the grass."

Both Pyramus & Thisbe and Romeo & Juliet talk about the stars controlling them.
